When installing an outdoor GFCI receptacle, it is important to consider the following safety precautions:
- Ensure the receptacle is weatherproof and rated for outdoor use.
- Install the GFCI receptacle at least 12 inches above the ground to prevent water damage.
- Turn off the power supply before installation to avoid electrical shock.
- Use a waterproof sealant or cover to protect the receptacle from moisture.
- Follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully to ensure proper installation and functionality.
